For the sixth consecutive year, the Amateur Athletic Union/Mars Milky Way High School All-American Award and college scholarship program will recognize outstanding high school seniors. The nationwide program honors well-rounded young men and women who excel in academics, athletics and community service. This year, 102 scholarships, ranging from $1,000 to $40,000, will be awarded.
One young man and one young woman from each state will be selected as "state recipients" and each will receive a $1,000 scholarship. From those state recipients, eight "regional recipients" will be selected, and each will receive a college scholarship totaling $10,000. Two of the regional recipients will then be selected as "national recipients," and each will be awarded scholarships totaling $40,000 over four years.The eight regional recipients, along with their parents and a school representative, will also receive an expense-paid trip to New York City in April where the national winners will be named.
All high school seniors are eligible for nomination. Forms are available through high school guidance counselor offices or from the Amateur Athletic Union, 3400 W. 86th Street, P.O. Box 68207, Indianapolis, IN 46268. All nominations must be postmarked by Dec. 2, 1991.
